Ockums Razor makes a quick reappearance and gets the vote over Diktalex and Bermuda Beauty, with Prettilini and Buzzin'boyzee making for a competitive start to proceedings. Neville Callaghan has wasted no time in turning Ockums Razor out again after his splendid second to Cookie Cutter at Southwell on Thursday. That was of course on the fibresand, but he handled this surface when third over seven furlongs here the time before, and with the drop in grade to help, he should go close to opening his account over a trip that clearly suits him. Diktalex won a poor seller at Lingfield last time, but at least she is going the right way, while Bermuda Beauty, twice successful on Turf last year, will do better over this extra furlong after just staying on into third over the minimum here last time. If Prettilini gets out quickly then she has a chance of making the frame at least, and Buzin'boyzee, who handles the track, is another that usually gets involved and has been placed a few times. A narrow vote goes to Ockums Razor.
